Crescent Lake Fishing near Monroe, Washington

• Overview

  Crescent Lake is listed under Snohomish County, Washington. The land about it is open plain. About 8 acres of surface, which puts the far bank inside easy sight.

A border sits close enough to be relevant to the paperwork.

• Where to Fish on Crescent Lake

  Depth is not on record here, so the bank has to tell you. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. Records held for Snohomish County cover Chinook salmon, pink salmon and Coho salmon. Some of the species recorded here are protected or tightly regulated, so check what may be targeted before you fish. The shape of Crescent Lake rewards a slow walk along one bank.

• Seasonal Patterns

  On the long-term average, August reads 64°F and December reads 39°F. Cold never closes this one. Heat pushes fish deep from June onwards, so start early. Autumn steadies things again once the heat lets go. Plan any trip to Crescent Lake around it. Autumn feeding runs harder as the light drops away.
